“The Third Temple Under Netanyahu and Ben-Gvir?” is the title of  a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

A new most religious and conservative government is being formed in Israel under Benjamin Netanyahu, with the new rising star Itamar Ben-Gvir wanting to become security minister, which would make him responsible for keeping the peace at the Temple Mount. Who is Ben-Gvir? What is his position towards Jewish prayers on the Temple Mount and the building of the Third Temple?

A new Member Letter (November 2022) has been posted and sent to our subscribers. Norbert Link encourages us to remember that the Work of the Church of God produces fruit far beyond what we might sometimes be able to immediately see.

We conducted a Tech Team Meeting and a Ministerial Meeting via Google Meets on last Sunday, November 6, 2022. Hosted by Eric Rank, we first focused on our ad campaigns with the Team and then followed up with the ministry during which we discussed speaking procedures during Sabbath Services as well as planning for 2023.

Plans have been made to conduct our annual Church Conference in Escondido, CA, from Thursday, April 27, 2023, until and including Sunday, April 30, 2023.

A new Ad Campaign directed to German speakers features our booklet, “Die Zehn Gebote,” (The Ten Commandments).

“Himmelhoch jauchzend – zum Tode betrübt Zusammenfassung,” is the title of last Sabbath’s German sermonette, presented by Robert Muhr. Title in English: “Cheering Sky High – Saddened to Death.”

“Squirm,” the sermonette presented last Sabbath by Eric Rank, is now posted. Here is a summary:

The only way that we can grow as Christians is by acknowledging our weaknesses so that we give place for God to work in our lives. The vulnerability in that acknowledgment is uncomfortable, but we can trust in the strength of God to give us relief.

“Seeking and Finding God!” the sermon presented last Sabbath by Dave Harris, is now posted. Here is a summary:

The Bible presents examples of nations and individuals who sought God and found Him, and it also reveals what God expects of mankind in this regard.

“How We Are Destroying Ourselves,” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary: 

Certain developments might very well contribute to the prophesied downfall of America and Britain. We report on dangerous and risky experiments taking place in laboratories in London, England, and in Boston, USA, which were called “insanity” and which could unleash, in theory, a new deadly “viral threat”; and we address a new lethal chemical, dubbed as a “weapon of mass destruction,” which has arrived on American soil in quantities which could kill every American citizen seven times over.

“Der Thron Davids und Jakobs Gedenkstein („der Stein des Schicksals“),” is the title of this Sabbath’s new German sermon, presented by Norbert Link. Title in English: “The Throne of David and Jacob’s Pillar Stone (‘the Stone of Destiny’).”

“Wachsen in der Erkenntnis Gottes—Aber wie?” is the title of last Sabbath’s German sermonette, presented by Mike Richter. Title in English:  “Grow in the Knowledge of God—But How?”

“Sind wir das Salz der Erde?” is the title of last Sabbath’s German sermon, presented by Thilo Hanstein. Title in English: “Are We the Salt of the Earth?”

“Live with the Right Vision—Comments on News and Prophecy (October 29, 2022), the first message presented last by Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is a summary:

Terrible Events are escalating in the world on a daily basis, and the future looks grim. Some say that there is no reason to study hard in school or college in order to get good grades; pursue a career, get married, have children, and plan otherwise for the future in general, as the world will end soon and Christ’s return is on the horizon. But is this the right approach?

“How Are We to Do God’s Work?” the sermon presented last Sabbath by Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is a summary:

Many different ideas exist today as to what is the responsibility of God’s Church in these end times, and how to accomplish what we are commissioned to do. The Bible compares our task with the blowing of trumpets to warn of impending disaster. It also shows us how we are to blow these trumpets. It takes dedication and zeal, as well as total reliance on God and the conviction that He will bless our efforts as long as we are loyal to Him and do not give up.

“Britain’s Fall Is Inevitable,” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

The situation in Great Britain is catastrophic, and God tells us why. The resignation of Liz Truss after just 45 days in office and the “undemocratic” election of Rishi Sunak should show even the casual observer that Britain’s fate is sealed; especially, when considering what Sunak stands for. One paper wrote that “a voice is missing to save England.” But is this really so?

“Großbritanniens Fall ist sicher,” is the title of a new AufPostenStehen program, presented by Norbert Link. This German program covers the same topic as described above.

We are pleased to announce that ten people were baptized during the Fall Festival; also Daniel Blasinger was ordained Deacon during this time. Congratulations to ALL!

Please Note: Sermonettes and Sermons presented during the Fall Holy Days are or will be posted on our websites: www.eternalgod.org and https://www.ewigengottes.de/

“Our Ultimate Human Potential,” the sermon presented last Sabbath by Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is a summary:

First, God created spirit beings and things within the spirit world, and the Bible also shows us WHAT He created. In due course, He created the physical world—the universe with its galaxies, suns, and stars, and our earth. Science is still puzzled to this day as to how the universe came into being. The earth later became void and empty, and God renewed the face of the earth and created man. Why? What is the purpose of human existence, and what does the Bible reveal about the future of man… as well as the future of our solar system and the entire universe?

“Die Posaune Gottes,” the sermonette presented on the Feast of Trumpets in Germany by Manuel Müller, is now posted. Titled in English: “The Trumpet of God.”

“Der Ruf nach Antworten,” the sermonette presented last Sabbath in Germany by Manuel Giermann, is now posted. Title in English: “The Call for Answers.”

“I Have To,” the sermonette presented last Sabbath by Eric Rank, is now posted. Here is a summary:

Being convicted by the Holy Spirit can often put us in an uncomfortable position. Knowing what the right course of action is in our lives doesn’t make it easy! However, the strength and faith of Christ provide us with what we need to follow through.

“True Worship,” the sermon presented last Sabbath by Dave Harris, is now posted. Here is a summary:

The Bible instructs about what is required for true worship, and it warns about false worship. What about your worship—is it true or is it false?

“Look Inside,” the Offertory presented on the Feast of Trumpets by Frank Bruno, is now posted. Here is a summary:

We are commanded to bring an offering before God on His appointed Holy Days. However, as we consider the amount to offer we have to examine our motivation and our heart. That means that our intent in giving back to God must extend beyond our budget and focus on our ability to honor and serve Him. In this message we will consider the scriptures and life examples that make this clear.

“The Trumpet Will Sound,” the sermon presented on the Feast of Trumpets by Dave Harris, is now posted. Here is a summary:

Just as the Children of Israel were commanded to appear before God, so on this day, the Feast of Trumpets, we are assembled before God at His command to memorialize and mark the sounding of trumpets. It is important to consider the tremendous meaning of this Day according to what God has revealed to us.

“How and When Will There Be Worldwide Nuclear War?” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

We hear more and more about the danger of a tactical or limited or even worldwide nuclear war, especially in regard to the war in Ukraine and the situation involving Taiwan, but many dismiss this idea as absurd. The Bible does predict a global catastrophic nuclear war, but it will occur quite differently from what many suspect.

“Wie und wann wird weltweiter Atomkrieg kommen?” is the title of a new AufPostenStehen program, presented by Norbert Link. This German language program covers the same topic as described above.

“Wissen ist Macht,” is the title of last Sabbath’s German sermon, presented by Thilo Hanstein. Title in English, “Knowledge is Power.”

“Tempted—Yet Without Sin,” the first split-sermon presented last Sabbath by Dave Harris, is now posted. Here is a summary:

Satan’s temptation of us is to cause us to fail, but God’s testing of us is for our success. We should always respond to the situation in the same way and that is to overcome all through obedience to God!

“Without Hypocrisy,” the second split-sermon presented last Sabbath by Eric Rank, is now posted. Here is a summary:

Hypocrisy is a poisonous trait that Jesus condemned in several confrontations during His ministry. Yet, it can be so easy to discover inconsistencies between our behavior and the beliefs that we say we have. What can we do to live a Christian life without hypocrisy?

“So You Wanna Fight?” the sermonette presented last Sabbath by Kalon Mitchell, is now posted. Here is a summary:

As Christians we have to be ready to fight. We know we will have to face battles in our lives and we must face them head on with confidence that we can win because God is by our side and He wants us to win. But we must be willing and zealous in our approach!

“Fight Like Christians,” the sermon presented last Sabbath by Michael Link, is now posted. Here is a summary:

The world relies on war to bring about peace, but that is not the way to achieve it.  God never intended wars to be fought in the first place, as the Bible explains, but we are to be peacemakers.  We do however fight against the god of this world.  What do we need to do so we can be victorious?

“Why Germany’s Government Will Fall,” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

It should be clear to every objective observer that Germany’s government will fall in the near future, but out of its defeat will come what many might call victory… except, it will mean devastation and destruction for the entire world.

“Warum Deutschlands Regierung fallen wird,” is the title of a new AufPostenStehen program, presented by Norbert Link. This German language program covers the same topic as described above.

“Why Are We Not to Complain?” last Sabbath’s sermon presented by Kalon Mitchell, is now posted. Here is a summary:

The words that we speak matter more than we know. When we speak in complaining, negative, grumbling ways – there is scientific and Biblical reasons why we should not be allowing ourselves to do this! We must realize what we are doing and decide what we are going to allow!

We are pleased to report that Norbert and Johanna Link arrived safely in Germany this week for an extended visit with the brethren. They will return to the United States following the Fall Holy Days.

“Is God Punishing the USA?”  is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

For years, we have announced that the USA will fall, and more recently, that this fall is imminent. Now, a remarkable new article in the Jerusalem Post is contemplating the same development, while raising the question about whether God may have something to do with it. In this program, we discuss this possibility in more detail.

“Begehre es Nicht! Denn Siehe…” last Sabbath’s German sermonette presented by Christian Mrosek, is now posted. Title in English: “Don’t Covet It! Because See…”

“The Error of Balaam,” last Sabbath’s sermonette presented by Paul Niehoff, is now posted. Here is a summary:

When the children of Israel were fighting the Midianites, as described in the book of Numbers, they also killed Balaam. What did he do to deserve death? It is explained in the book of Revelation.

“What Is Prophesied for the State of Israel?” last Sabbath’s sermon presented by Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is a summary:

The Bible shows us what did and will happen to the nation and the state of Israel, including before and during the Great Tribulation and the Day of the Lord, and after Christ’s Return. This sermon also addresses parallel developments pertaining to the USA and the UK, as well as their and Judah’s enemies. The fall of the state of Israel and its defeat in war are prophesied, but so are also its rise from destruction and freedom from captivity. Today’s anti-Semitism will become a thing of the past.

“Germany’s Weak and Failing Government!” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

Why is it important that you understand how weak Germany’s government under Chancellor Olaf Scholz is, and how the chancellor’s conduct has contributed to a strong dissatisfaction of the German people with him and his divided coalition? What did Herr Scholz do (or not do) which led to this reaction? And how can one explain, among many other things, his repeated “lack of instinct” in respect to the scandal with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Germany’s continued financial support of the Palestinian Authority; and Scholz’s “lack of memory,” when being accused of having collaborated, as local mayor, with a Bank in Germany to engage in tax evasion? Is Germany’s government on its way out?

“Wer Winnetou liest, ist ein Rassist?” is the title of a new AufPostenStehen program, presented by Norbert Link. Title in English: “He is a Racist who reads Winnetou?” (Winnetou is a well-known fictitious Native American hero in the books of widely-read German author Karl May.)

“Der barmherzige Samariter—und wo die Samariter heute sind!” is the title of this Sabbath’s new German sermon, presented by Norbert Link. Title in English: “The Merciful Samaritan—and Where the Samaritans Are Today!”

Support is critical for Christians, for the Church, for the Work of God, and, even for God!

“Don’t Stop Living,” the sermon presented last Sabbath by Eric Rank, is now posted. Here is a summary:

Believing that the return of Jesus Christ is near, we are naturally inclined to plan our lives accordingly. The big question is, how should we plan for our future?

On the Sabbath of August 13, 2022, Frank Bruno was ordained to the ministry by Evangelist Norbert Link and Pastors Dave Harris and Eric Rank. This ordination took place in Fort Collins, Colorado—congratulations to Frank and his family.

“America’s Downfall IS Prophesied!” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

Some observers recognize that America is divided and in decline. They openly talk about its downfall, both domestically and internationally. But many don’t see or care about the signs of the time. The Bible confirms that the USA will lose its supreme military and economic power in the world. But there IS light at the end of the dark tunnel. 

A new Member Letter (August 2022) has been written by Eric Rank. He presents a very insightful analogy reminding us to view our challenges through God’s perspective. Also, our new booklet, “God is…Our Destiny!” is being mailed along with this letter. If you would like a copy of this booklet, just request it, and we will be happy to mail one to you. “God is… Our Destiny!” is also available at our website.

“Der prophezeite Aufstieg des Staates Israel,” is the title of a new German sermon presented by Norbert Link. Title in English, “The Prophesied Rise of the State of Israel.”

“Quo Vadis—Where Are You Going?” the sermonette presented last Sabbath by Frank Bruno, is now posted. Here is a summary:

In our relationship with God and His Son, Jesus Christ, we are moving either towards them, or away from them. Standing still may seem a safe compromise in this world, but it is the essence of being on the fence and presenting an undecided heart to God. The pathway that Jesus accepted to return to the Father was essential to our salvation. Jesus made clear that those who are called could one day follow. This Sermonette we will consider scriptures and examples that can help guide us on our own journey.

“Europe’s Rise and Fall,” the sermon presented last Sabbath by Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is a summary:

We find an amazing end time prophecy in the Book of Ezekiel about the political, economic, military and religious European power bloc, and its sudden demise and fall that will result in its total annihilation and destruction. Who will be the main players in this development; who are the modern Medes; and what is the connection between the prince and the king of Tyre, and the false prophet?
